Corn and Pea Fritters with Cilantro Lime Dipping Sauce

I am always looking for time saving
solutions in the kitchen. Libby’s is coming out with new Vegetable Pouches that
are shelf stable, stored in environmentally friendly packaging and are microwavable.
Because Libby’s pouches can be stored at room temperature they take only a
minute to microwave, easy for a quick side dish or addition to appetizer, salad
or soup!

Libby’s was nice enough to send me
some free samples to test and make a recipe with. For my recipe I used their
Sweet Corn and Sweet Pea pouches to make a Corn and Pea Fritter. The recipe
takes all of 3 minutes to prepare and 5 minutes to cook. While the recipe was
cooking I put together a cilantro lime dipping sauce made with Greek yogurt and
avocado. This recipe is both sweet and spicy and made for a quick appetizer to
keep everyone satisfied until the main course was ready! These fritters are also made healthier by
cooking them in a lightly greased pan versus frying them.
